Providence Island.

The question has been very frequent
asked of late, where is Providence island?
This island has been recently purchased
by the Central Vermont railroad company
and is being fitted up for the accommoda-
ton of excursionists, and will undoubtedly
prove to be most attractive spot, us it is
delightfully."- located, having many charm
ing natural attractions.
1t is about an hours sail north from
Burlington. The island contains about
175 acres of lawn and woodland; the ced-
ars are grouped about in most attractive
manner.
On Saturday the Unitarian Sunday
school visited the island and had most
enjoyable time, the officers of the steamer
Reindeer did all in their power to make
the excursion a success and to them the
thanks of the society are due for their
courtesy.

"Doc" Aubrey, the Newsb oy.

Our readers will remember the story OF
G. b. Aubrey, the Burlington boy who
went to the war to sell papers in the camps
was taken prisoner by Gen. j. +. b.
Stuart, spent some weeks in Libby prison,
saw the battle of Fredericksburg, got
under fire at Gettysburg, and had various
other army experiences. Mr.. Aubrey went
to Wisconsin, after the close of the war,
and is now a citizen of Milwaukee, where
he has been made member of the largest
Grand Army post, and an honorary mem
Der of the society of the Iron Brigade of
Wisconsin troops, among whom he used
to peddle papers.
Since Mr.. Aubreys lively story of his
war experiences has had such wide circu-
lation he often gets letters from old SOL
diers, who knew him as a newsboy in the
army. In call at the FREE PRESS Office
Monday, he showed us such letter re

Daniel O'Connell of Stamford, while
looking for cattle last Friday, accom-
panied by his dog, heard noise in the
bushes near by, and turning, saw large
bear coming toward him. O'Connell was
unarmed, and running for tree, grasped
a lower limb, when the bear caught him
by the foot, decorating the calf of the leg
badly. O'Connell broke away and got
into the tree, the bear this time following
him Both went out on a small limb
which broke. letting them fall to the
ground, where another struggle took
place. The dog then tackled the bear,
which was thus attracted from O'Con.
nell, who was enabled to escape. O'Con-
nell's wounds are very serious, but not
necessarily fatal. The dog has not yet
reached home, and is supposed to have
been killed in the UNEQUAL fight.

FIRE IN WINOOSKI.
Attempt to Burn IA Tenement House and
the Store of BigwoOd Il Son.

Fire was discovered in the small dwell
ing house on Canal street north of the
corporation boarding house occupied By
ID. j. Platka at about II o'clock Sunday
night. The alarm was sounded and the
fire companies promptly responded. The
shed adjoining was burned down and the
kitchen of the house badly damaged, but
the fire was checked there and eXtin-
guished. The family had retired for the
night and were aroused from their sleep by
Mr.. Mongeon neighbor who had seen
the flames from his own house. The
house was insured in T. S. Pecds agency
A heap of old boxes and other combusti-
bles in the rear of Bigwood d Sons store
was discovered on fire at about the same
time but was eXtinguished without dam
age. The boxes had evidently been placed
there by some person for the purpose of
starting fire.
The origin of the fire In the dwelling
house is thought to be incendiary as there
had been no fire in the house since three
O'Clock in the afternoon.
